Second Tasting: Yellowtail


Yellowtail Chardonnay
Year 2013
Varietal Wine
Australia Region
South Eastern Australia
Price: $12.99
Winery Review: A Chardonnay with a flavor of rich tropical fruits with a creamy finish.
My Review: Fairly sweet yet an acidic Chardonnay. There is a strong hint of pineapple flavor and light citrus. The Chardonnay certainly has a rich and creamy finish.


Yellowtail Sangria
Year 2013
Blended Wine
Australia Region
South Eastern Australia
Price: $9.99
Winery Review: Inspired by the traditional drink of Spain, Yellowtail Sangria combines a splash of sweet citrus with premium red wine.
My Review: The Sangria has a strong and sweet nose including hints of vanilla and nutmeg. There is a strong flavor of citrus blended with blackberry. Overall, a light and fruity finish.


Yellowtail Merlot
Year 2013
Varietal Wine
Australia Region
South Eastern Australia
Price: $12.99
Winery Review: Ripe plum flavors with a warm touch of spice.This Merlot wine is bold, smooth, and easy on the palate.
My Review: This Merlot has a rich body. There is a hint of cinnamon which is what gives it the extra spice. I taste the plum flavors but also a hint of black raspberry. The Merlot has a smooth finish.


Yellowtail Shiraz
Year 2013
Varietal Wine
Australia Region
South Eastern Australia
Price: $12.99
Winery Review: A Shiraz with ripe cherries and strawberries, spice, and vanilla aromas. The bold Shiraz wine is well balanced, with earthy tones and lingering fruit on the tongue.  
My Review: The Yellowtail Shiraz has an earthy nose with a hint of dirt but also a sweet scent of vanilla. This wine has a very fruity and light flavor with hints of strawberries but I taste more chocolate than I do vanilla. The Shiraz is light for a red wine and also sweet and fruity.
